How to Use Your Leftover Wrapping Paper

I really dislike throwing any type of materials away, I'm not a hoarder by any means, but if I can think of any way to reuse something I will tuck it away for another project. Wrapping paper is one of my favorite supplies to buy, both kraft paper and patterned paper, and I'm always looking for new ways to utilize my stash. Here are a few fun ways to use your stash and save a little money as well.

This is a great round up of ideas. I made the paper beads one year and used them to make a garland. I really liked the garland but I took it apart a few years later to use the bead to make Star of David ornaments using a thicker gage wire to string them. The people who received the ornaments still display them on the wall at Christmas time.
